Ward Against Death was an amazing story. Ward de'Ath (yes ha ha he's heard that joke before) is a necromancer - a fairly good one from what I could gather. But his true passion is to be a surgeon - something is most definitely illegal in this time and place. Running from the law in several provinces...
I had no idea from the blurb that this book was supposed to be YA. And even after reading it, I'm not sure if I would have characterized it that way. Both of the characters are about 20 years old, with careers, so to speak. Then again, there is no sex and our male main character isn't quite the stan...
Review: Edward “Ward” de’Ath (I love the name so much) is trying to start his career as a necromancer. This fails when his relatively easy task goes wrong and the dead girl (who he’s just risen) is dragging him out to the sewers, demanding they find justice for her murder. Celia (the girl) is insist...
This book has a lot going for it: a kick ass heroine, a goofy guy who is in over his head, a cool plot of necromancer meets assassin and action, lots and lots of action! (And then throw in a romance that could have gotten old quickly had there been no role reversal to keep things new.)The characters...
First Impression:Billed as New Adult, Ward Against Death appears darker than the normal creepy fare I like to tackle. But since I am trying to broaden my reading scope and it is part of the newest emerging genre, I decided what the heck. The cover is pretty. And I can't resist the chance for romance...
So how much do we love Melanie Card for making Ward be a twenty-year-old? If you're like me: VERY MUCH! There aren't enough books with twenty-somethings in it. The only thing that bugs me: it's immediately classified as Adult. But I think it would fit the New Adult (which should be way bigger than i...
Review can also be found at http://the-bookaholic.blogspot.comWard Against Death was fun and unique! Upon picking it up, I didn’t know what to expect really. But to my surprise, I enjoyed the ride! It’s an edge-of-your seat experience that fills you with mystery, fantasy, and intrigue. It even start...
With his prospects of becoming a physician utterly ruined by some rather illicit activities, twenty year old Ward de’Ath turns to the only other occupation left to him – necromancy. When hired by Lord Carlyle to wake his recently deceased daughter, Celia, so that that the family may say their final ...
I'd have to say that most of this book revolved around the theme of light and dark. Good and evil. Even so, it did not make these distinctions wholly black and white. Some of it remained in the grey area and so did Ward. To me he was fully on the side of the light and stuck to what he believed. In o...
